Roasted Pork Tenderloin

roast pork tenderloin recipe

INGREDIENTS   16 ounces pork tenderloin 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 garlic cloves, chopped sprinkle sea salt sprinkle freshly ground black pepper DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 425 F. Season the pork with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the mustard and garlic together and rub all over the tenderloin. Heat a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear until all sides are brown, turning occasionally, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes. WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE A serving of pork contains 50 percent of the daily iron your body needs in an easily-absorbed form. Served at a special dinner alongside roasted root vegetables, mashed sweet potatoes, and other delicious sides, it’s a total winner.

Vegetarian Quesadilla with Broccoli Rabe

broccoli rabe quesadilla recipe

Hello, easy Meatless Monday meal. This crowd-pleasing Vegetarian Quesadilla is beyond easy to make and hides a healthy secret folded up in its tortilla: it’s got more plant-based ingredients like nutrient-dense vegetables and legumes in it than cheese. Alright, it’s not exactly traditional, but it is delicious. INGREDIENTS   1/4 cup broccoli rabe 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 whole grain wheat tortilla 1/4 cup corn 1/4 cup black beans 1/4 cup cheddar cheese 2 tablespoons onion, chopped DIRECTIONS Chop broccoli rabe into bite sized pieces. Heat olive oil in a medium sized pan over medium/low heat. Place tortilla in pan, layer broccoli rabe, corn, black beans, onion, and cheddar cheese on one side. Fold other half and cook, flipping halfway until both sides are light golden brown and cheese is melted. WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE Who doesn’t love a cheesy quesadilla? This one layers nutrient-dense broccoli rabe (fiber! vitamins!) into the protein-packed cheese and black beans—and holds it all together with a tortilla made with whole grains instead of white flour.
